Badchannel.ini uses the | character to seperate each bad channel's name from the kick msg sent back to mIRC when a user is kicked for being on this bad channel. The | character is valid within channel names, however badchannel.dll will mis-parse the INI file when it reads the channel name which contains |.

    The solution to this is to change the character which badchannel recognizes as the separator between the bad channel name and the kick message. Doing so will break all existing copies of the INI unless they're specifically modified to conform to the new format.

    Changed the separator character from "|" to a space in order to resolve this. This will require changes to all existing users' INI files.

    This should be fixed in the 0.5 beta release.
